it was much smaller. Even though the Liberator is smaller than the Flying Fortress it could still hold just as many types of bombs as the Flying Fortress. The Liberator could also land on a very small runway for the actual size of the plane. More Liberators were produced but the Flying Fortresses were still in service longer and had a better flight record. Because of the Liberator and the Flying Fortress, the United States could go in behind enemy lines and bomb Germany's most protected armories and factories without taking much damage to the rest of the squadron.All in all the United States had the more innovative and technological advances on almost every plane in their current arsenal. The United States manufactured more planes faster than any other country in the world at that time. The U.S. not only had more planes than its enemies but it had the faster Mustangs, the longer ranging Flying Fortress and her more maneuverable sister the Liberator. Germany at one point could have won the war if they had only built themselves a long range bomber that they could have manufactured quickly, but Germany was to caught up with experimenting with jet engines that could travel faster than any other plane in the world. The only problem with this was that those jet planes traveled to fast to get off a clean shot on their target. The Flying Fortress was the most influential plane developed over the course of World War II. It scared the enemy at the sight of a Flying Fortress because when they made their presence known to the enemy they caused severe damage. It was also the most loved plane during the war because it was the plane that dropped the feared atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki to end the war.
